Maldon District Council has announced an exciting update on this year's UFest.

UFest will take place on Friday, August 15 at Maldon's Promenade Park, promising a day filled with fun, learning, and community spirit.

The wellbeing festival is an annual event that brings together a diverse range of organisations to showcase their services and engage with the community.

It returns for the fourth time this year after seeing continual success.

It has received £4,000 from the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

From 11am until 4pm, visitors can enjoy live music, performances and a prize trail for families. There will also be plenty of opportunity to meet children's activity providers, sports clubs, emergency services, community organisations, and Essex Libraries - who may be holding activities to get involved in.

Cllr Richard Siddall, Leader of Maldon District Council, said; "UFest is a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together and learn about the incredible services available to them. This is combined with a day to enjoy family-friendly activities.

"We are proud to see so many organisations returning to support this event and look forward to welcoming everyone in August."
